Can't load 'Magnus Manor'

Has anyone had a problem loading magnus manor? I can find it in the Poser Runtime of DAZ 4.6 but when I load it it crashes DAZ. I did a search for it in DAZ Contents and the files appear with a big exclamation mark on them. I've downloaded MM and installed it manually twice but the problem persists. I don't like or use DIM. Could the manual download be corrupted or missing files? Any help appreciated.

    ...this is a very large set with a lot of detail in the texture maps. Even on my system it took a bit of time to load.

    If you are missing components, like textures or geometries, usually it would would pop up a dialogue box warning of the missing component(s) rather than crashing the application. To me it sounds like a memory issue. What are your system specs and are you running anything else at the same time?

    In Windows Task Manager, with the scene loaded in 4.6, I am looking at just over 1GB total between the set and application in idle mode, and a total of 3.2G used with Win7 and the basic system processes running.

    Thanks for your reply. I'm running Win 8 Pro x64 with 32GB ram so I don't think it's a memory issue. I've got a number of other DAZ scenes that are larger than 1GB but load fine. The first time I loaded MM a message popped up that a content file was missing and then DAZ crashed. So I downloaded the file again and reinstalled it to make sure nothing was missing but it still crashes DAZ. I installed the scene by dropping the Runtime file into my content folder as I normally do.

    ...interesting, never had a missing component crash the programme.

    On my system it's is installed to Daz/Content/Runtime/Libraries/Props.

    I have the same installation path. I'll have to investigate this further. Did you install manually or use DIM? I'm wondering whether there might be a problem with files in the manual installer?

    ...I used the DIM. Could be an issue with install paths in the manual .zip.

    You might be right. I'll contact support to find out.
